Calzaghe has been down 3 times as a pro.
First was Byron Mitchell, who caught him with a lucky punch while he was taking a beating. Joe got back up inside 5 and carried on beating **** out of him until the ref decided Mitchell was a gibbering wreck who shouldn't be allowed to take any more punishment.
Second was Kabary Salem. Joe's head was all wrong in this fight. He was in the middle of a large money messy divorce and he barely trained for this fight. Yet he still won, the sign of a true champion.
Third, I think we all know. Hopkins landed the PERFECT punch. He had all his weight behind it, and looking at his face, all his power too. He caught Joe flush, as hard as he can ever hit anyone, as Joe was coming forward. Joe was still up by the count of 3.
Also, Joe lost a handful of fights as an am.
Joe's chin is proven on more than one occasion, and by bigger punchers than Kelly Pavlik. What a lot of people also dont remember, Pavlik KO's people with volume punching, not one punch KO power. He wears them down and KO's them. He is not going to be able to land enough shots on Joe to wear him down enough to KO him. Whereas Pavlik has shown the tendancy to go down to one punch, even from lesser punchers than Joe. I got Joe to win this one wide, by at least 117-111 or KO. Anyone who fancies losing some points on Pavlik, PM me, we'll get the bets made now for if it comes off.
